KY Teacher Training Programs

[Guest guest]

Regarding the availability of the teaching:

 

In ancient times, the teaching of Kundalini Yoga was very guarded and only given

to those the Guru deemed as being the most worthy from family heritage to long

periods of testing of a students resolve. The inner teaching centered around

the warning "Don't cast your pearls before swine, as they will trample them

under foot." (Christ to his Apostles) As a result, much of the "secret"

teachings of many religions and traditions were lost.

 

Now, Yogi Bhajan has brought many of these ancient teachings to light. What was

hidden is now taught openly.

 

The "pearls" are cast out far and wide to everyone, like seeds cast out by a

sower, and the test of worthiness is more for the student to determine for

themselves the value of the pearls in these teachings and adapting the practice,

as a priority in their lives, as to follow the teachings in these pearls opens

one to their inner Treasure. ("... and there resounds the Name, in myriad form.

It is a Treasure which none can imagine, sayeth Nanak.")

 

Being a KY teacher:

 

Being a teacher has 2 components, one of them is the basic knowledge we can read

about in books and manuals, but the most important one is that the teachers in

training (and certified teachers) actually practice the sets on their own, or

come to available classes to learn the sets and experience the yoga and

transformative effects of the yoga. With the experience, there comes an

intuition of the understanding of the techniques and an innate ability to teach

them to students. KY is not just a course in stretching, but a process of inner

transformation of consciousness that needs to be experienced, and with

experience, which comes from practice, comes the intuitive knowledge to teach -

an intuition that links one to the essence and inner knowledge of the teaching.

 

Again, KY is not the same as pure stretching, where one can have some basic

understanding of the mechanics of the body much like a class in aerobics, or any

sport training. With KY, there comes the experience of the flow of prana; one

begins to become aware that the experience of energy (prana) is consciousness,

and the awareness of one's identity begins to shift in a very real and practical

way from "I am the body and the thoughts and impressions" to "I am (intuitive)

consciousness" to "I am consciousness independent to the body and mind."

 

KY gives this inner experience progressively, as a clear, noticeable and

practical reality of one's everyday life. Without practice, all this is just

intellectual conjecture, wishful thinking, something other yogas and the several

religions refer to in books, the "theoretical" experience of which only comes

after many years of practice or prolonged periods of isolation and retreats, and

then only if one hasn't become distracted, due to imperceptible gains.

 

Practice KY and become a teacher, and you will feel the flow of inner intuitive

knowledge emerge within your consciousness.
